....And God saw that it was VERY good....

On the 6th day of God's creation he made mankind.  He created them in the image of Himself and said to them 'prosper, reproduce, fill the Earth, take charge, be responsible.'  But best of all when the 6th day was over:  'God looked over everything he had made; it was SO good, SO VERY good....'

God on the other days of creation had looked over things and imply stated 'it was good.'  On the 6th day however, things were different.  He had made things SO VERY good!!  God was exceedingly pleased with His creation that particular day, this was because He had created mankind.

God created you, it was not a mistake, or an afterthought, He purposely created you the way you are.  Not who you pretend to be on the surface for other people to see, He created the real you, and He sees the real you.  Scared yet???!!

In this world we have a skewed perspective of perfect, for whatever crazy reason.  Being perfect has a slightly different meaning to everyone, but in the end we all strive toward whatever we perceive as perfect.  Whether that is a bit thinner, a bit more muscle, a bit taller, more sporty, more intelligent, being richer, having the husband and 2.4 kids....the list is endless.

(From Word for Today):
1.  Your obsession to be perfect will keep you trapped in loneliness, for satisfying relationships can only be built on honesty and total acceptance.
2. Your obsession to be perfect will force you to see your shortcomings as something to hide, instead of opportunities for growth.
3. Your obsession to be perfect will keep you fixated on what you're going to be some day, instead of enjoying what you are right now.
4. Your obsession to be perfect will rob you of the chance to make your life count, for by focusing constantly on yourself you'll have nothing left to give others.

God didn't NEED to create you, He CHOSE you.  He KNEW you before you were born.  When we grasp this concept, we will begin to overcome the problem of feeling 'less than.'

A quote from the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves:
'Did God paint you [black]?'
'Did God paint me? [laughs] For certain.'
'Why?'
'Because child, God loves wondrous variety'
